Police in Canada and the United States arrested 12 people on Thursday as part of an alleged drug-smuggling ring based on the St. Regis / Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation.
Police laid charges against people on and off the reservation, which straddles the border. The leader of the ring allegedly brought in $4 million worth of drugs from Canada into the U.S. every year.
Also arrested was a New York police dispatcher who allegedly provided the suspects with information.
